Ace of Diamond Act 2 - Finally some good sports anime making a comeback. Too bad the plebs will be watching Hachigatsu no Cinderella 9.

Shield Bro - Among the over saturated isekai shows is one done better.

Jojo's part 5 - Favorite part out of the manga series and so far has not disappointed.

New Shows

Fairy Gone - I've lost a lot of faith in PA Works but let's see if they can pull off something more in my genre.

Carole and Tuesday - Sounds wholesome having been a musician myself for many years.

Konoyo no Hate de Koi o Utau Shoujo YU-NO - Sounds like a poor man's Steins;Gate, but it has the same director as Drifters, Erased, Afro Samurai and Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress and...psst ef: a tale of memories.

Miru Tights - Let's just... not talk about that.

Total - 10 with only 4 of which being new shows. What happened? I must be too stuck in the past to be expecting 2009-2013 levels of hype seasons. Either that or I'm just getting old.

So I counted and there's only 32 new full shows this season, including sequels, boy the industry must be hurting or something, 32 is only about ~10 more than my average number of pickups a season meaning..... I'm probably going to be scratching the absolutely bottom of the barrel on this one.But it looks like the big boys are still out to play with their one big project at least. This is fine though, I still have a lot to catch up on that I've been saving for years now, I'll never have a true shortage of things to watch.

Continuations/Sequels

Bungou Stray Dogs S3: I really liked season 2 in a way that I never did for season 1, so hopefully this continues off of that high.

Diamond no Ace Act 2: I already watched the first episode and I'm glad they did a bit recap, but how the hell am I supposed to remember what happened exactly 3 years ago. Luckily the recap made me remember our podcast where I said "Oh it's the sports anime where they actually lose!"

Hangyaku-sei Million Arthur 2: The first season was really bad, but I really really like the fighting game and my character is OG from this show, so...... yeah

One Punch Man 2: I've JC Staff do some beautiful work before, so I'm not on zero expectations that they can pick up the work that Madhouse was doing, but at the same time the animation in Index 3 has been somewhat lackluster sooo~~~~~~

Shingeki no Kyojin 3 Part 2: Is this a season 2 of a season 3? Whatever, the last part was fantastic, I still love the shit out of this show.
